"This is a very new build which is why there aren't many reviews yet. Needless to say, our stay at Purapura was the highlight of our holiday! Spyros and the staff are extremely welcoming and helpful! Messages before arrival, there to welcome us at arrival and help with luggage and help us get settled in. Spyros would answer our questions about where to go for food or shops, and give us surfing tips. The buildings/flats are fantastic and well designed, good kitchen, coffee provided, blender, gas...

"We had a fantastic time at Casa De Noni. The house was perfect for 2 families of 4 with young kids (4-9), it was clean, well furnished, and Ruth was very responsive to all our requests and needs. The pool was great for kids, with afternoon shade, and evening lights that would keep them swimming for days on end. The house had great outdoor living space, a well furnished kitchen and A/C cooled bedrooms. The monkey deck was a hit for the kids to watch the troops of Monkeys pass by. The location...

Cori the property manager was so helpful with setting up all our activities, everyone showed up and picked us up to take us to our tours as promised. We enjoyed brunch at the resort next to the property every morning. Even woke up to monkeys in the back yard and the macaws flying around were so neat.

"Incredible home and fantastic experience. This place is perfect for those looking for a slow paced, less developed, not trendy, sparsely populated, less wired/connected setting. The spectacular beach is an integral part of the covered outdoor living space. The living space super comfortable with everything you need to prepare meals, relax, and hang out and works for just 2 people but we could easily see 3 families hanging out comfortably.

"Casa Makai is a beautiful property with an incredible ocean/jungle view & very comfortable furnishings. The filtered water system was a treat, allowing us to fill our water bottles and drink directly from the tap, reducing unnecessary plastic waste. It is secured behind a private gate & monitored overnight by an on-sight security guard, (which didn't seem necessary as everyone in town was exceptionally kind and trustworthy). Josefina, the property manager, went above and beyond in every way...
